Collecting and sharing live shows & rarities etc. created by fans for fans for free for all to enjoy is one thing, but profiting off of others creativity is another thing altogether.

So the guy was out-and-out counterfeiting records? Ballsy as fuck and was just waiting to get caught. There is a huge moral chasm between pirating, where the copyright holder loses income, and counterfeiting, where the copyright holder loses income and someone else makes it.

Maybe it was Cut the Crap he bought and the bad sound quality was actually the recording.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board
